Прикидывался принципиальным, насколько я понимаю. Принципиальные республиканцы не то, чтобы совсем перевелись, но стали исчезающим видом.
Как объясняет гарвардский профессор Зиблатт, автор книжек “Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy" и "How Democracies Die", ответственность за сохранение демократии лежит на правых партиях и на их способности дистанцироваться от ультраправых элементов.
In countries where the center-right is willing to quarantine the far-right, undemocratic forces should be politically neutralized. But when the center-right gives in to the temptation to try to use the far-right because it thinks that's the only way it can win, then their Faustian bargain can end up like they all do: not as they expected. Mainstream conservatives might find out that they, and not the radicals, were the ones being manipulated. That they weren't appeasing the far-right, but empowering it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/05/17/why-liberal-democracy-only-dies-when-conservatives-help/
